Ophelia
Love's Crossroads: Ophelia's Echo in a Fool's Heart
Lyrics
I, I, when I was younger
When I was younger, reflecting on the past.
I, I, should have known better
Regret for not making better choices in the past.
And I can't feel no remorse
Lack of remorse for past actions or decisions.
And you don't, don’t feel nothing back
Emphasis on the other person's emotional detachment.
I, I, got a new girlfriend
Introduction of a new romantic interest.
She feels like he's on top
Expressing the new partner's confidence or success.
And I don't feel no remorse
Reiteration of the lack of remorse, possibly in the context of the new relationship.
And you can't see past my blinders
Difficulty in understanding or acknowledging the speaker's perspective.
Oh, Ophelia
Addressing someone named Ophelia, possibly the person of interest.
You've been on my mind girl since the flood
Ophelia has been on the speaker's mind, emphasizing a lasting impact.
Oh, Ophelia
Repeated mention of Ophelia with a plea for heavenly assistance in love.
Heaven help a fool who falls in love
A cautionary expression regarding the challenges of falling in love.
I, I, got a little paycheck
Reference to a modest income or financial situation.
You got big plans and you gotta move
Partner's ambitious plans that involve moving.
And I don't feel nothing at all
Emotionless response to the partner's plans.
And you can't feel nothing small
Highlighting emotional numbness or indifference.
Honey, I love you, that's all she wrote
Declaration of love with a sense of finality.
Oh, Ophelia
Reiteration of Ophelia's presence in the speaker's thoughts.
You've been on my mind girl like a drug
Comparing Ophelia to a drug, emphasizing an addictive nature.
Oh, Ophelia
Repeating the plea for divine intervention in love.
Heaven help a fool who falls in love
Restating the warning about the challenges of falling in love.
Oh, Ophelia
Repetition of the plea for divine help.
Heaven help a fool
Emphasizing the vulnerability or foolishness associated with love.
You've been on my mind girl, yeah yeah
Reaffirmation of Ophelia's persistent presence in the speaker's thoughts.
Ophelia
Direct address to Ophelia, seeking divine assistance for the speaker's love.
Heaven help a fool who falls in love
Reiteration of the warning about the challenges of falling in love.
Oh, Ophelia
Repeated plea for heavenly help in matters of love.
Oh, Ophelia, Ophelia
Continued repetition of Ophelia's name, possibly emphasizing the impact of the person on the speaker.
Oh, Ophelia, Ophelia
Final repetition of Ophelia's name, potentially underlining the significance of the relationship.
